$1000 Invested In Gold Fields 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Gold Fields shares are trading lower after the company announced Gold Road rejected its acquisition bid.

Gold Fields Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GFI#NYSE">GFI</a>) submitted a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/gold">non-binding, indicative</a>, and conditional offer to acquire 100% of Gold Road Resources Ltd (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ELKMF#OTC">ELKMF</a>) for A$3.05 per share.
The March 7 <a href="https://www.overend.co.za/download/media-release-gold-fields-makes-offer-for-gold-road-resources.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">proposal</a>, announced on Monday, included A$2.27 in fixed cash and a variable component linked to Gold Road's stake in De Grey Mining.
As of March 21, the offer valued Gold Road at approximately A$3.3 billion (~ $2.07 billion), implying an enterprise value of A$2.4 billion. It represented a 28% premium to the last closing price and up to 54% on a see-through basis.
Gold Road received the offer after market close on March 7 and <a href="https://goldroad.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Receipt-and-Rejection-of-NBIO-from-Gold-Fields.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">rejected</a> it after review, calling it &#8220;opportunistic&#8221; and &#8220;conditional.&#8221; On Monday, Gold Fields publicly disclosed the proposal, and Gold Road reaffirmed its rejection, arguing the bid significantly undervalued the company and its strategic assets.
The timing of the offer coincided with temporary production issues due to maintenance and equipment failures, and it did not reflect the potential value of the planned underground expansion of the Gruyere mine. In response, Gold Road proposed acquiring Gold Fields' 50% stake in Gruyere through a mix of cash, securities, debt, and equity, but that counterproposal was declined.

Gold Road also criticized Gold Fields for going public rather than addressing concerns privately despite the ongoing engagement. It further noted that Gold Fields failed to provide advance notice of any intent to purchase shares, as required under the Gruyere Joint Venture agreement.
Gold Fields, meanwhile, stated it has no plans to submit a competing bid for De Grey Mining and wants Gold Road's stake voted in favor of Northern Star's proposed acquisition. The company expressed confidence in its ability to finance the deal and obtain the necessary regulatory approvals.
Price Action: GFI shares traded lower by 3% at $20.88 premarket at the last check Monday.

Gold Road Rejects Gold Fields' 'Opportunistic' Bid, Criticizes Timing, Terms

Gold&#8217;s meteoric rise<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44434672/gold-nears-3100-mark-as-us-accelerates-repatriation-amid-tariff-fears-and-securing-domestic-reserves"> above the $3,000 per ounce</a> mark has greatly impacted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">gold-linked ETFs</a>, which have given investors different channels to ride the bullion&#8217;s rise.​
SPDR Gold Trust ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>): The gold price-tracking ETF has gained over 13% for the year. The fund offers exposure to the price of gold through physical bullion holdings, serving as protection against inflation and economic uncertainty. Also, with a beta of as low as 0.19, GLD appears more favorable among risk-averse investors.
VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>): Providing exposure to gold miners, GDX has fared better than physical gold ETFs, with a year-to-date gain of over 28%. The fund invests in a portfolio of leading gold mining stocks, offering leveraged exposure to the price action of gold. Leading gold mining names are present in this ETF, such as Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEM#NYSE">AEM</a>) and Gold Fields Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GFI#NYSE">GFI</a>). However, investors should be cautious about potential equity risk based on company performance and overall market volatility. ​The beta of GDX at approximately one (0.95%) makes it better for investors with more risk tolerance.

Key Drivers Behind The Gold Rally
There are indeed several factors that have made the historic spike in gold possible. Rising hostilities, such as the recent Israel-Gaza clashes, have amplified global uncertainties, prompting investors to seek safe-haven assets such as gold.
Again, concerns regarding the persistence of inflation and a potential stagflationary environment have seen gold gain popularity. The recent Federal Reserve comments to hold rates steady at the moment and reduce rates twice this year have raised hopes for interest rate reductions by the end of the year, which has sustained gold prices.
Furthermore, Priority Gold says that consistent buying by central banks has been behind the gold demand, which has driven its price gains.
In summary, gold&#8217;s record rally has delivered significant profits for mining and physical gold ETFs. Depending on personal tolerance for risk and investment objectives, one can choose between straight exposure using vehicles like GLD and leveraged exposure from mining ETFs like GDX.

Gold ETFs Face Off: GLD Vs. GDX As They Steadily Climb Amid Bullion Boom

Gold Fields's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GFI#NYSE">GFI</a>) short percent of float has risen 3.17% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 9.84 million shares sold short, which is 1.3% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.71 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Gold Fields has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Gold Fields's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Gold Fields's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.02%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Scotiabank Maintains Sector Perform on Gold Fields, Raises Price Target to $20

Gold prices have skyrocketed, surging over 50% in just 14 months to hit fresh all-time highs. The metal&#8217;s market cap has now crossed a jaw-dropping $20 trillion — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/gold">a first in history</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gold Defies Gravity</h2>
What&#8217;s unusual this time? Gold is climbing alongside the U.S. dollar and bond yields—a rare divergence that&#8217;s raising eyebrows across Wall Street, <a href="https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1892596245794783617?s=31">reported</a> The Kobeissi Letter.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
